Looking for: Rating and Review script similar to the one use in devarticles.com

Anyone know what is DEVARTICLES using? I need to find something similar to it. Thank you in advance.

Read Annette's tutorial. She goes through how to create it.

Hi thank you for that article. But when I read through it I do not see any body able to add any reviews in. Is there anyway to introduce reviews into the system as well ?

Ah, so you probably mean the code for Devscripts! DevArticles doesn't seem to have a reviews sections for their article, just a rating system.

Ask Ben. He was the one that developed devscripts. Maybe that can be his next tutorial (hey Ben???)

Ehhh ..they dun have?

Rating Plus | Write A Review | Tell A Friend | Report Error


There is ... Wonder if anyone care to help out in how to do this thing? Thank you.

That's devscripts, although they're under the same umbrella.

Ah... do you think they will be able to help ? Anyone?

Anyone can help ?

I sort of had a quick look around and can't seem to find any asp free scripts, but I would think it would not be too hard to create. You would probably want some sort of login mechanism (see the couple of articles on the site - Mytch's article "Hey I remember you" if you are using asp or Ben's series on building a members only section using php). Ben's 4th article in his series does talk about adding user comments to news items - so you could adapt that easily for articles, if you are using php.

You would need a table that would have:

ReviewID (int, autoincrement) (PK)
UserID (FK)
Review (text or varchar depending on how long you want to make it)
DatePosted (timestamp)
ArticleID (FK)

Depending on how you want to set it up, you might want some sort of validation that would check to make sure that the same user has not already posted a review for that article or use cookies for that purpose.

You would also need a form, with a texarea for the review. It would pass the userID and the articleID via hidden fields.

What language did you want to use anyway?
